Go Gecko Go?

While lazily attempting to read something for class last night, I decided to go grab a box of cereal (What? I love snacking on breakfast foods at non-breakfast times) and munch on some to help me stay awake. Guess what greeted me as I pulled back the cereal box flaps?

It's a gecko, I think. Grayish-whitish in color. The little guy nearly made me jump out of my skin. Understandable since I wasn't really expecting those beady eyes staring up at me from the cereal box. With my shaking hands, I managed to snap the above picture. Of course, I then began thinking of ways on how I was going to get him out of there and out into the garden without a) touching him and b) him getting spooked and dropping his tail which will then wiggle and convulse like it has a mind of its own and will gross me out forever (I'm assuming it's a him). Not knowing what the heck I was going to do, I poked the box. Bad idea. That gecko just darted out of there like a reptile version of Speedy Gonzales. I darn well screamed my lungs out as it zoomed across the room, barely missing my feet. I jumped onto the couch in the room and realized the gecko had come to a stop at the foot of said couch.

gdhjabdharha!

What was I supposed to do now that the gecko was out of the box? As I pondered this for a moment, I looked back and realized it was. . .gone. Therefore, as I am typing this, there is a gecko loose somewhere in my room. I just hope it sticks to eating bugs and would not resort to staring at me from the ceiling as I sleep.

OH MY GODDDDDDDDDD once i stepped on a gecko hahahha it was HORRIBLE.i would be scared silly if i saw it looking out of my cereal box :O how on earth did you manage to take pictures? you brave girl O.O

@iZaynab: well, to be fair, the cereal box was already open and was merely sealed back in place. however, i still do not know how the gecko got in.

@Martin Alexander: hey, you're right! i'm shaky-camera movie material. haha. and yeah, congratulations to me on my new semi-unwanted companion. although i would take him over a cockroach any day.

@Fang: noooo! :| i don't know if it would still be cute if it'd be climbing all over my face as i lie paralyzed in fear and completely grossed out.

@Furree Katt: ohmyyyy! you stepped on one?! that's gross and sort of sad at the same time. i like animals and try to not kill them if possible. except cockroaches. i hate those. besides, they're a pretty resilient species. haha. i don't know how i managed to take pictures. the camera was close by so i decided to snap a couple of pics. haha.

@Leah: don't scare me! haha. i hope he's living peacefully in a dark corner somewhere in my room where i will never look. haha.

@Sussch: erk. i wouldn't know what i would do if those gecko-things from fallout 2 popped out of my cereal box! :O

@Popsy: no-one is ever late for a comment. haha. why did you get to touch one? and yeah, anxiety is rather contagious. xD

@Hanis: oh no! the gecko on your arm must've been really gross! but then again, i think i can top you- one night, a cockroach flew into the open window of our condo on the tenth floor and proceeded to land snugly on my cheek. let's just say i or anyone else on all three floors below us did not get any more sleep that night.
